As capitalism's crises deepen, radical thinkers must forge realistic and visionary alternatives to this failing social order. This book presents a thought-provoking collection of essays exploring post-capitalist futures. Contributions and perspectives from the Global North and Global South delve into central themes such as ecosocialism, ecofeminism, degrowth, community economies, and the Green New Deal. Additionally, chapters offer insightful analyses of land, energy, technology, universal basic services, and (re)localization of economies. The book is organized into three parts. The first section presents diverse alternative paradigms for envisioning and working towards post-capitalist futures. The second section explores alternative governance strategies and approaches for these futures. The concluding section gathers various analyses of post-capitalist geographies and resistance. Moving beyond critique, this collection aims to challenge and inspire readers to contemplate and engage with the wide range of possibilities inherent in our crisis-ridden present.
